Might be a hot take because obviously Parsons is an elite player but he wasn't going to make that bad Cowboys defense good enough to contend this year.
When you account for the trade deadline move, the Cowboys ultimately gave up Parsons, a second round pick and Mazi Smith to get Kenny Clark, Quinnen Williams, a first round pick and 90M in cap savings (over next four years). That's not bad at all.
The problem is that $90M over four years and a coin-flip on a first round pick aren't enough to fix that defense either.
Plus, couldn't they have done the big trade deadline move and signed Parsons early in free agency, which would have cost less than he ultimately got?
That's fair. I think there is also unknown consequences as well. Maybe players feel like Dallas is less desirable because they are perceived as not taking care of their guys.
I am just saying it wasn't that bad of a deal. I am sure they have done dumber things. I mean they hired Nick Sorenson to be ST coordinator.
I agree with this take
